The method further includes identifying a voice mail box of the recipient and caching voice mail box information at a voice mail server.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- determining content of a voice mail message;
- identifying a plurality of intended recipients of the voice mail message based on the content of the voice mail message;
- determining a message format preference for each recipient of the plurality of intended recipients;
- converting the voice mail message to a format that is compatible with the message format preference of each recipient of the plurality of intended recipients;

An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- receiving visual voice mail information for a plurality of intended recipients of the visual voice mail information;
- determining content of the received visual voice mail information;
- identifying each intended recipient of the plurality of intended recipients based on the determined content;
- predicting future communications to the plurality of intended recipients by generating updates to a profile for the plurality of intended recipients, the updates being performed when a voice mail message is received for each intended recipient by performing a destination lookup for each intended recipient using a Lightweight Data Access Protocol server or a Domain Name System server, thereby determining a destination network and location of each intended recipient;
- providing an address destination for each the intended recipient by associating each intended recipient of the plurality of intended recipients with a Lightweight Data Access Protocol address or a Domain Name System server address for future delivery of visual voice mail messages to the plurality of intended recipients;
- and
- caching address destination information for each intended recipient to a visual voice mail server.
